Ferrari is one of those big manufacturers that love to celebrate their victories in style. The celebrations are that much more splashy when they're for the 16th Formula 1 Constructors Cup title, which Ferrari won last week.
 

To commemorate this exploit, the manufacturer introduced the latest version of its ultra-powerful 430, the Scuderia Spider 16M. Just as powerful, the new Spider even has a weight advantage, as it's 80 kg lighter than the F430.

Mechanically, it's a true performance car. It has inherited the same 4.3-litre, 510-hp V8 that powers the Scuderia Coupe and the new California. The engine block still features a central configuration that allows for the virtually perfect balance of the masses between the axles. The car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds and hits a top speed of 315 km/h.

The 16M version is obviously special in honour of Ferrari's victory and is shod in exclusive wheels. True to form, the manufacturer will only market 499 units of the Scuderia Spider in order to maintain demand and rarity.

Ferrari hasn't announced pricing or availability yet, but judging by the speed at which these cars fly out the door, all of them are probably already spoken for.
